Mushroom Roasted Tomato And Pancetta Fettuccine Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO & MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the pancetta to a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato puree. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce with salt, to taste.
• Meanwhile, boil the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the linguine with the sauce in the skillet, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid until the pasta is moist but being careful not to dilute the sauce. Toss with the cheese. Season with salt, to taste.

PENNE WITH PANCETTA AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Pour pancetta grease out of the skillet, and add butter. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in sliced mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid. Add the minced garlic, and cook 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• To serve, toss the cooked penne with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

FETTUCCINE WITH ROASTED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Brush the foil with about a teaspoon of the oil and scatter the garlic and thyme over the foil.
• Remove and discard the stems from the mushrooms. Place the mushroom caps stem side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast the mushrooms for 30 minutes.
• Remove the mushroom caps from the oven and slice them into slivers about a fourth of an inch wide. Chop the garlic and the thyme from the baking sheet. This much of the recipe can be prepared up to 4 hours in advance.
• Shortly before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine about three minutes. Drain it well, then place it in a shallow saucepan or a skillet. Add the mushrooms, chopped thyme and garlic and the remaining olive oil. Cook over low heat a few minutes, tossing the noodles gently, to mix all of the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper, gently fold in the parsley and serve the fettuccine alongside the monkfish.

PENNE WITH MUSHROOM-TOMATO-CREAM SAUCE

• Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven, cook pancetta over medium heat until crisp. Remove pancetta to paper towels to drain. In same skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
